 SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 106--COMMENDING THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 
    FOR 200 YEARS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO CONGRESS AND THE NATION

  Mr. WARNER (for himself, Mr. Ford, and Mr. Moynihan) submitted the 
following concurrent resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                            S. Con. Res. 106

       Whereas the Library of Congress was established in 1800 and 
     will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Library of 
     Congress in 2000;
       Whereas the goal of the bicentennial commemoration is to 
     inspire creativity in the century ahead and ensure a free 
     society through greater use of the Library of Congress and 
     libraries everywhere;
       Whereas the bicentennial goal will be achieved through a 
     variety of national, State, and local projects, developed in 
     collaboration with the offices of the Members of Congress, 
     the staff of the Library of Congress, and special advisory 
     committees; and
       Whereas the bicentennial commemorative activities include 
     significant acquisitions, symposia, exhibits, issuance of a 
     commemorative coin, and enhanced public access to the 
     collections of the Library of Congress through the National 
     Digital Library: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives 
     concurring), That Congress commends the Library of Congress 
     on 200 years of service to Congress and the Nation, and 
     encourages the American public to participate in activities 
     to commemorate the bicentennial anniversary of the Library of 
     Congress.
